In June, we were delighted to host our annual Afternoon Tea Party at Government House, generously sponsored by Walkers.
It brought together local businesses, funders and key stakeholders who have supported Dementia Jersey over the past year, giving us a valuable opportunity to come together in celebration and reflection.
We honoured to hear from our Patron, Lady Kyd, who delivered a wonderful speech recognising the impact of Dementia Jersey’s work and the importance of continued community support.
Guests then enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea in the beautiful surroundings of Government House, followed by a raffle featuring a fantastic selection of prizes. Thanks to the generosity of supporters, the raffle raised over £1,000, with all proceeds going directly towards supporting people living with dementia and their families.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Walkers for sponsoring the event, and to Seymour Hotels for kindly donating 3 raffle prizes.
Your support helps us continue our vital work in the community.

🌞 Reminder about Staying Safe in the Heat 🌞 For many people, a heatwave is a chance to enjoy the warm weather, but high temperatures can also cause discomfort and increase the risk of dehydration. If you’re caring for someone with dementia, it`s important to be aware of the extra challenges hot weather can bring.
People living with dementia may be more vulnerable to dehydration, as they can forget to drink, may not recognise that they are thirsty, or may find it difficult to communicate their needs. They may also be less aware of the heat, unable to remove extra layers of clothing without assistance, or may not understand the importance of applying sun cream.
Here are some helpful tips for staying safe in the heat:
- Offer drinks regularly throughout the day and leave out cups or jugs within easy reach
- Stay in cool, shaded, or air-conditioned spaces where possible – keeping curtains and blinds closed in sun-exposed rooms can help keep things a little cooler.
- Avoid going outside during the hottest part of the day
- Wear light, loose-fitting clothing – a sun hat or cap for outside is also a good idea
- Find ways to cool off. Keep a damp washcloth and some iced water nearby so they can cool themselves when needed.
- Check in on them regularly. If you’re unable to, ask a friend, neighbour, or family member to pop in and make sure they’re okay.
Simple steps can make a big difference in helping people stay safe and well during warm weather.
For more information on supporting someone living with dementia during hot weather, visit the Alzheimer`s Society website: https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/blog/how-support-somebody-living-dementia-hot-weather or if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call us on 01534 723519. Please note our office is open 10-4pm, Monday - Friday.
